Marketing furniture to the public can be challenging for a small business owner. Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market. One thing you can do is to talk with real estate(房地产)agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market—new home buyers—who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic(顾客流量)is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event(抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest. In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier for your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company's credit terms. Consider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.

In the summer heat, it's easy to develop the embarrassing problem of body odor if you' re not careful. Bacteria live all over our skin, and their waste is what causes body odor.Follow these simple tips to keep the bacteria away: 1. Use antibacterial body soap. Antibacterial soaps kill the odor-causing bacteria on the body. If you haven' t been using one, chances of the bacteria levels on your body are quite high, so get their numbers under control by bathing with your new soap twice a day for two weeks. After levels are back to normal, once a day is enough to keep them in check. 2. Change clothes and bath towels frequently. Any worn clothing or used bath towel will produce bacteria. Change your clothes daily, especially socks and underwear, unless you want yesterday's bacteria joining forces with today' s. Also, keep in mind that cotton clothes are better at hiding body odor, as they absorb smelly sweat rather than letting it evaporate into the air. 3. Eat light. Greasy, spicy and salty food add toxins to the body. Therefore, change to a healthier, lighter diet. Also, regular steam baths or saunas can help to sweat the toxins out.

"Avoid the rush-hour" must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Wherever you look, it's people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move: when a bus arrives, it's so full that it can't take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else. Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the "privilege" of living in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn(不屑于接受) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country. In addition to all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, they're not really fit to live in at all. Can anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs?

Dear Sir, Much to my regret, I write this letter to complain about your company's bad delivery service. The laptop(Model Number AA/585) which I ordered from your company on Jan. 1 arrived yesterday. I am sorry to report that the laptop has been badly damaged. There was no unusual damage to the packing case, but when I opened it, I found that the front surface of the machine had been scratched. Since there is such damage to the laptop, I decide to file a complaint against the delivery service. Would you please let me know whether I should return the laptop to you for a replacement? Or should I take the laptop to your authorized service representative here? I will keep this laptop until I hear from you. Yours, Peter Smith
